VMI OL Chad Reed brings size, grit, and trench-value upside
Chad Reed’s value at VMI is in the traits that don’t always show up in a box score: the kind of offensive lineman who can anchor, stay physical, and be trusted in a system that demands toughness and consistency. I couldn’t verify any reliable public stat line or ranking for his current season from the available sources, so the best read is role-based: he projects as a depth-or-starting-caliber interior or tackle piece if he can hold up technically and physically. For a program that wants a tough, workmanlike lineman with developmental upside, he’s worth a look.
